The correct analogy is that of "A big greedy dog stealing away a bone from a smaller dog."

An ionic bond is a bond formed formed between a metallic atom and a non-metallic atom.

The metallic atom is electropositive while the non-metallic atom is electronegative. Therefore, the metallic atom donates or gives up its electrons to the non-metallic atom which accepts the electrons.

During the formation of chemical bonds, only valence or outermost shell electrons are involved.

Metallic atoms have few valence electrons (between 1 to 3 electrons) while non-metallic atoms have many valence electrons (between 5 to 7 electrons).

Therefore the analogy by the student of a big greedy dog stealing away a bone from a smaller dog is correct because the non-metallic atoms takes the few electrons of the metallic atom and add to the many electrons they already have during the formation of an ionic bond.

Answer:

Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Matter can change form through physical and chemical changes, but through any of these changes, matter is conserved. The same amount of matter exists before and after the change none is created or destroyed.

Why does one beach have purple sand and another beach have pink sand?
Gnesinka [82]
Ok so I’m going to break it up so it’s a bit easier to read through:

The colours are from the different rocks and minerals that make up the sand.

The little fragments of rock come from for example surrounding mountains.

It could also because sand is simply the product from erosion of the rocks rubbing each other under the action of the waves.

So if the bottom of the ocean is made of black lava for example in Hawaii, there’s a good chance of the sand being black.

In California, the sand usually looks white because it has minerals like quartz and pieces of shell that are made of calcium carbonate.

Hope this helps :)
